Table 3. Independent factors of increased C-IMT identified by multiple linear regression analysis.

Independent variables	Standard β	t value	P
Age	0.208	6.533	<0.001
BMI	0.083	2.599	0.010
SBP	0.154	4.735	<0.001
25(OH)D₃	–0.112	–3.610	<0.001
Lipid-lowering therapy	0.074	2.370	0.018

Variables included in the model were: age, BMI, W, SBP, DBP, FPG, TG, FINS, years since menopause, 25(OH)D₃, anti-hypertensives and lipid-lowering therapy.

Abbreviation: C-IMT, carotid intima-media thickness; BMI, body mass index; SBP, systolic blood pressure; 25(OH)D₃, 25 hydroxyvitamin D₃.
